The Mesabi Sound Company

The Mesabi Sound Company is a rock project built on a love for the kind of music that feels real. Honest songs and tones that nod to the classic records of the ’60s and ’70s. The brainchild of Minnesota native Scott John Smith, The Mesabi Sound Company is a throwback to the days of smokey rooms and gold records.  Recorded and produced independently, the goal isn’t perfection, it’s capturing a feeling. The result is a sound that blends vintage influence with a modern perspective, staying true to the roots while still moving forward.

At its nuts and bolts, The Mesabi Sound Company is about making music that pays homage to the forefathers of rock 'n' roll, while adding a modern perspective of the world today. It’s for late nights, good times, and anyone who still believes a great song can say everything without trying too hard. With new releases on the way and a growing presence both online and on local stages, the project is steadily finding its voice, one song at a time.
